A NOTE FROM SUPPLY

If you have not been issued a full uniform, please wear a white shirt and black pants for training nights.

For uniform pickups, there will be two avenues to go through. The first will be one monthly supply night, announced two weeks in advance. The signup will be posted on the website beforehand.

If you are unable to make it to the aforementioned supply nights, you can book an appointment with the Supply Officer for a date and time that works for you via the Uniform Appointment Request Form. The Sup O will send you an email confirming your appointment at the Supply HQ. If the Sup O is unavailable for your chosen date and time, they will email you with an alternate date and time. They will send you confirmation of your appointment after you have accepted the new date and time.

Uniform Appointment Request Form: https://forms.gle/nxq8B2UbVSkBJgmQ8

UNIFORM WEARING and CARE

The Cadet Dress Regulations outline the standards to meet with wearing the uniform. Please consult the regulations and the Standards Department to learn how to wear the uniform, as well as its regular upkeep.

See: Cadet Dress Regulations

DO NOT cut pant legs, they must be hemmed only.  
DO NOT glue badges onto the tunics, they must be sewn only.

Washing - your cadet uniform washes very well and looks better the more it is washed.  It is expected that all parts of your uniform are washed regularly and you should be washing your short sleeve shirt every week.
